En Vogue' s Gift Of Christmas Is Totally Fabulous!!!

"En Vogue is definitely back with one of the best Christmas Gifts ever. I was the first person in town to get the new CD and I must say that the beautiful girls of En Vogue have done it again! My heart is totally warmed by the sounds of Terry, Cindy and Amanda singing Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. The vocal harmony and super-sleek style of En Vogue just makes those songs jump out of my stereo. Christmas classics like Oh Holy Night and Jingle Bells have been taken to a whole new level that only the girls could do.
Merry Christmas Baby is unbeleiveable and the band backs up En Vogue is a way that just makes the idea of the Christmas holidays that much better. Then there is some great new songs sung by En Vogue that capture the feeling of being with your family during the holidays and hanging out by a warm fire. The grooves, harmonies and songs are just what the doctor ordered for those long wintery nights.
I give this album 5 thumbs up and hope everyone goes out and gives themselves...The Gift Of Christmas.
Best thing I've done for myself this year....go girls!!!"
Bliss!

"I had heard En Vogue had gone through a line-up change and wasn'y sure if I should buy this album, two of my favourite members had left the group so I was expecting the new En Vogue sound to be very different, and honestly not as good as it was. I was pleasently surprised, infact I was very very impressed.The sound is different although not that much and its due mainly to Maxine's departure, but the remaining ladies have done an excellent job of finding a new member, her vocals are, well, Rich and Very Very Satisfying.You get the same feeling after listening to this album as you do when you have a great meal, it's not over-done it's not under-done it's just right!I will definately be listening to this album in years to come, and I recommend it to everyone."
AN AWESOME GIFT FOR CHRISTMAS

"I'm so happy to have purchased this CD! En Vogue is back with a new line-up sounding better than ever. The group vocals seem actually stonger and I think new memeber Amanda Cole was a perfect choice!The CD is very groovy, upbeat, exciting, and there are songs for eveyone! The music, lyrics, and the harmony couldn't be better!My favorites songs are: Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
That's What Christmas Means To Me
This Christmas
Christmas With My HoneyTHIS IS A MUST HAVE CD!!!"
The Gift of En Vogue

"I just have to say that I have been a long term fan of En Vogue since the beginning, and I have been heart sick with their absence. The Gift of Christmas, has reinforced what I've always known, and that is that they embody everything that others have tried to duplicate. The stunning vocals, and harmonies between Cindy,Terry, and new member, Amanda, is classic En Vogue. The version of Have yourself a Merry little Christmas, is both creative and soulful. My personal favorite is the dreaming and beautiful Snowy Nights. This is truly a classic in the making. From the cd cover to the inserts inside, its obvious that they are still the most beautiful women around. This is a must have and a great gift to pass on to our family and friends."

"The Git of Christmas is simply wonderful. You can positively with out a doubt tell that En Vogue is back and back in a big way and they are here to stay.Their voices are simply angelic and their beauty is undying.... And Maxine is gone and she will be missed... But you cant tell that Max is gone....BEcause their harmony is tighter than ever.You just have to hear Cindy sing OH Holy Night...... simply remarkable And Terry singing MErry Christmas Baby....Her Voice is impecable.....And Amanda Singing Jingle Bells....Boy its awesome.... ANd when they come together and sing This What Christmas Means to me..... Boy you just want to get up and Dance... It's like the supremes all over again....
And Snowy Nights just makes me want to cuddle up with my lover in front of the fire place with a glass of wine and enjoy the snow nights..... The Gift of Christmas is definitly a keeper...."
